<br>
The wiki says (<a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Technical:Accelerometer_Fundamentals#Results" target="_blank">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Technical:Accelerometer_Fundamentals#Results</a>)<br>
that "For gentle twisting and turning, the differential accelerations<br>
are impossible to tell from noise." To me that means rocking the neo<br>
around for these won't work.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>The wiki is accurate, I believe, but tilt is different than the things the wiki is<br>cautioning about.<br><br>There is a constant force on your neo pointing down (gravity). The acceleration<br>from gravity is much greater than the error in the accelerometer readings.<br>
<br>In short, reading any significant amount of tilt should work fine, since you're just<br>comparing the direction of acceleration to the direction that should be down<br>when the neo is level.<br><br>Detecting shaking, large gestures, etc. should all work fine too. What you really<br>
can't effectively do with the accelerometers is detect position by integrating<br>acceleration for more than a few seconds at a time.<br><br>Bobby<br></div></div>-- <br>If it doesn't make you smile, you're doing something wrong.
